Verse 1 Chords:
G (320003@1)                               D (xx0232@1) So you just stepped out of the front of my house
          C (x32010@1)                  Gand (320003@1)I'll never see you again.
                        D (xx0232@1)                  CI (x32010@1)closed my eyes for a second and when they opened
                   GYou (320003@1)weren't there.
                             DAnd (xx0232@1)the door shut shut I was vacuum packed, 
        C (x32010@1)                GShrink-wrapped (320003@1)out of air
                                 DAnd (xx0232@1)the spine collapsed and the eyes rolled back
     CTo (x32010@1)stare at my starving brain,

Chorus Chords:
G (320003@1)                   C (x32010@1)        G (320003@1)        D (xx0232@1)  And fully clothed,   I float away (I'll float away)
GDown (320003@1)the Forth
C (x32010@1)                                                    GInto (320003@1)the sea, I think I'll save suicide for another day.

Verse 2: Use verse 1 chords
And I picture this corpse on the M8 hearse
And I half run away to sleep on a rolled up coat
Against the window  with the strobe of the sun
And the life I've led
Am I ready to leap is there peace beneath
The roar of the Forth road bridge?
On the Northern side there's a Fife of mine
and a boat in the port for me,

Final Chorus:
G (320003@1)          C (x32010@1)             G (320003@1)         D (xx0232@1) And fully clothed, I float away (I'll float away)
G (320003@1)              C (x32010@1)(play this Con (x32010@1)thru the next 5 lines)
Down the Forth, into the sea 
I'll steer myself through drunken waves
These manic gulls scream it's okay
Take your life give it a shake
Gather up all your loose change
                                           G (320003@1)name="chord_x32010@1">C G (320003@1)name="chord_x32010@1">C (to fade out)
I think I'll save suicide for another year.
